That's why I've already made my bail out decision in the event of a
fire.Â* A friend in the Dominican Republic died because he didn't wear a
parachute and he couldn't get it back to the airport in time.Â* Below
700' AGL, I will put it on the ground with minimal maneuvering.Â* Above
700' AGL, continue to climb while jettisoning the canopy and getting
out.Â* I wear a very quick opening square parachute.

We just completed annual on my Stemme and there were things which should
have been caught on previous inspections, but were not. Every thing has
been corrected.

A Stemme caught fire crashed and burnt killing both occupants here in Aus some years ago, given the small number going around, the percentages don’t look to good to me.
